Spring

Ok the calendar says it is spring but it sure doesn't feel like it over here. We just got a snow storm this past weekend. Will the snow ever end? There is still a lot of snow on the mountains and the air is still chilly. I wish the snow would go away and it would be warm again. My favorite time of the year has always been winter but now I am really looking forward to summer. I just can't wait till I don't have to wear a sweater everywhere I go and I am not cold when I don't wear layers of clothing. SUMMER PLEASE, PLEASE COME SOON!

Why America hates fat women.

I was reading an article in a magazine with this title at the gym. How ironic to be reading something like this at the gym. Well it mentioned that this is the most accepted form of discrimination in the US. How overweight people get a lower pay and many people dislike overweight people.

Then there is the constant use of fat suits by skinny people in order to feel what it is like to be overweight. They really wouldn't be able to know what it feels like because they only experience it for a short time. They don't get to feel it everyday. They don't really get to feel the looks that people give you and how unnatractive people think you are just because you are not supper skinny. They don't get to feel the daily rejection. They get to go back to their skinny bodies. It's funny too that I would feel this way since I constantly go to the gym in order to loose weight and stay fit.

There was a time when I had lost a lot of weight but I didn't really like the way I looked. Yet according to my body type it was my ideal weight. Now I just want to reach a certain weight so that I can still move around comfortably. But I don't need to be a stick in order to be content with how I look.

Isn't it amazing the constant pressure to be skinny. I guess this battle will never end.
